Edit Protector: Networking tab

Use the Networking tab to set protector networking properties:

Steps

  1. Enter the IP address for the Default gateway, in the format 123.45.67.8. The default gateway’s IP address should be from the same subnet as eth0.
  2. Select an Interface to which packets for this route will be sent.
  3. To add a DNS server to the DNS servers list, enter its IP address and click Add.
  4. (Optional) To add a suffix to the DNS suffixes list, enter the suffix and click Add. The domain suffix is used by the resolver to help resolve names that are not fully qualified.
  5. Review the Connection mode.

    In SPAN/Mirror Port, the protector can only monitor the traffic and cannot interfere with it. In this mode, the protector connects to a switch/TAP port that relays all traffic traversing the network to the protector for analysis.

  6. The protector can use 3 types of network interfaces: Management, Monitoring, and Network.

    To configure the protector’s interfaces, click the name of the interface, then see Interface configuration in SPAN/Mirror Port mode.

  7. Select Enable VLAN support if the monitored traffic contains VLAN tagging.
